Transit-Oriented Development

Public transit not only gives riders a way to get to work, school or fun around town, but it can also be a catalyst for change and growth in the neighborhoods it serves through transit-oriented development.

Since 2011, more than $10.2 billion in commercial development has been announced, is under construction or completed within a half-mile radius of MetroLink stations across Missouri and Illinois.
